ODOM, RICHARD D., and LEMOND, CAROLYN M. Developmental Differences in the Perception and Production of Facial Expressions. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1972, 43, 359-369. The present study was designed to determine if a developmental lag exists between the perception and production of facial expressions. Each of 32 kindergarten and 32 fifth-grade children participated in 1 of 2 types of discrimination task and 1 of 2 types of production task. The results indicated that both age groups correctly discriminated more of the 8 assessed expressions than they produced. The older children made more correct discriminations and productions than the younger children, but contrary to expectations, the difference between discrimination and production increased with age. The implications of the results for perceptual learning and socialization were discussed.
